Why would you screw up a good thing? Are you brave enough to admit that you kept reporting her until she got suspended? If you didnt like the question then why did you keep looking for her?
Do you realize what you have done?

Who come over to your house and expect you not to smoke.... not while they are there .. I mean they want you to NEVER smoke in their house because they come over a lot. I have family that lives very close and they are always over here. I have respect for every nonsmoker out there. I don't smoke in or around their homes or their cars. If I am somewhere out in public, I do whatever I can to stay away from nonsmokers while I'm smoking.

Now I have just had my sister-in-law call me this morning and tell me I needed to stop smoking in my own home because it was bothering them. Does anyone think that this is going a little too far??

Im not talking about the "plunge" or water running..
I need ideas on how to prevent others outside hearing those "trumpet" sounds that come along when having diarrhea..

Im serious about it!
Its annoying to be getting dumb remarks like "have you just spray painted the bowl again" and such.
So what can I do, so that people waiting outside the bathroom door wont hear it?

It should be emphasized that all the notes are personalized - they aren't "form" thank-you notes. It's just that it seems to look a lot 'cleaner' when laser-printed as opposed to pen and ink. But is that considered bad form, even though handwriting looks, well, a little less legible and clean.

This custom seems to have lost relevancy in todays Western society. It appears that it has been observed primarily during the last 100 years only as a token of politeness.

Is it just someone's way of pissing off those of us who have respect for the proper use of our language? Once, a user logged in to answer my question, wrote "lol" and signed out. Got 2 points. What is there to gain by cheating? What good would it do to reach level 6 by cheating? There is no prize, just a respectable title. There's another way to achieve that title. Get off your tush and work!

No, I'm not an American. I'm one of the 22 million black people who are the victims of Americanism. One of the 22 million black people who are the victims of democracy, nothing but disguised hypocrisy. So, I'm not standing here speaking to you as an American, or a patriot, or a flag-saluter, or a flag-waver - no, not I. I'm speaking as a victim of this American system. And I see America through the eyes of the victim. I don't see any American dream; I see an American nightmare.

Our society is filled with bad manners, both intentional and accidental. What things that complete strangers do annoy you the most? (i.e. "talk on cell phone in movie theatre" = good, "leave cap off toothpaste" = bad, unless, of course, complete strangers have tendencies to enter your dwelling, go to your bathroom, and brush their teeth. Hey, stranger things have happened.)

I am absolutely, knocked on my butt, sick as a dog. To top it off, my husband and I invited six friends for lunch at our house today and we are packing to move in two weeks. BUT. . . The kicker. . .I had to cancel last week as my nephew stayed with us and I couldn't get him going fast enough. 5 of the 6 friends would understand. The sixth would have his feelings hurt and think that because of my manic depression, I am cancelling, which isn't true.

I know a formal handshake is supposed to be like "eye contact - firm grip - two or three shakes", but what about when you're meeting someone casual for the first time??

as a girl, i know a lot of guys aren't comfortable with "nice to meet you!" hugs--and as a teenager who meets a lot of punks and thugs, the formal one doesn't seem to fit either.

so what the hell do i do?

What if it rains? My husband and I smoked up till 4 years ago when we had children. The couple coming over is my Mom and Step-Father...Usually it isn't a problem but it might rain today and we don't have anywhere protected from the rain for my Step-Father to smoke his cigars. Our garage opens directly into my kitchen so I would rather not open the outer garage door and let him smoke in there. ( I would rather they not smoke where my children might see them smoking at all but that's not realistic)...so what do I do so that they have what they need to smoke but I keep my house smelling clean and smoke free? Is it okay to say, "you have to smoke outside" when it's raining? I guess he could always jump in his truck if the rain were that bad?
